The problem back in those days seemed to be you had to be about a 100 to have a chance of getting on the board.

Fred Turnbull mentions that somewhere.

He is, he is and sadly, he is. Also a direct descendant of William the Conqueror.
Mr Kartz was with four generations of his family at the match today.
As they should have done. We could have given Mr Kartz a hearty round of applause.
